Install Kodi for Mac

Kodi was initially released as a homebrew media player for the Xbox gaming platform in 2002. After that, the developers decided to release it for various platforms like Windows, Android, iOS, Mac OS X. So, Kodi on Mac is officially available so that you won’t have to worry about getting the app.

I have listed out the steps below in a systematic manner so that you could understand each and every part of the procedure properly. Kodi for Mac is officially available on the official website of the app. There are many versions of the app available on the site. Let’s see them in detail.

After the site loads completely; which won’t take much time if you have a good connection; scroll down until you see the logos of various operating systems.

There will be an Apple logo which represents the Mac OS X. Click on “Release: Installer”.

Clicking on that link will start the download of Kodi Mac setup file. The download file size is around 75 MB, so it won’t take much time.

The file that is downloaded is a .dmg file or generally known as a disk image. A disk image is the virtual equivalent of a CD.

When you open the .dmg file, you will see the Kodi icon. In order to install Kodi on Mac, you will have to drag the Kodi icon to the Application folder of your Mac.

You will see a padlock-like icon on the bottom of the window. When you click on that icon, it will require you to enter a computer admin password.
